Pelosi: Health law is a ‘winner’ for Democrats By: Paige Winfield Cunningham March 20, 2014 11:22 AM EDT

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said the health care law is a “winner,” when asked whether it’s a winning or losing issue for Democrats in swing districts this year.

“You’ll have to ask the member, but I believe it’s a winner,” she told reporters as she marked this Sunday’s fourth anniversary of the law’s passage.

Pelosi maintained that the Florida House special election last week, in which Democrat Alex Sink was defeated by a Republican in a race where the health care law was a major issue, showed that Democrats are “ready for the next putt” because the final results were close.

Pelosi also emphasized that health law’s name, the Affordable Care Act, is important because it describes what the law will do: lower costs. She said opponents started using “Obamacare” because they “wanted to get away from the word ‘affordable,’” she added.

She said she’s made that point to President Barack Obama, who has himself used the term “Obamacare” at times.

Either she has lost contact with reality, or, she is aware of a planned propaganda push by Progressives which she thinks will work with the electorate.

IMHO

Go ahead, Nancy, make sure all your members campaign on how wonderful Obamacare is. We’ll see the results in November - put your members’ seats where your mouth is.

In retrospect, this came out... um... not quite as I intended. Freudian slip?

Emphasis mine.

“You’ll have to ask the member, but I believe it’s a winner,” she told reporters as she marked this Sunday’s fourth anniversary of the law’s passage.

Of course she does. Her House district is so stacked in her favor there's no way possible for her to lose.

“Of course she does. Her House district is so stacked in her favor there’s no way possible for her to lose.”

How does she reconcile that with the fact that she isn’t the Speaker of the House anymore?

LOL. The GOP is stating that the most effective tactic they employed to get their last minute voters to the polls was, “A Dem win in Florida gets Nancy Pelosi one step closer to the gavel!!”

she is just saying it every time so that the lie is repeated and broadcast as much as possible, so that it will be believed by the maximum number of idiots.

Well, considering there are a plethora of “anus aimers” there, you would be correct.
